Gen. LOgan's Sudden Death

Is a great shock to the nation. Few knew that he was even indisposed when the news of his death flashed over the wires and thou sands of people stood aghast at the sudden change from health and vigor to cold and si- lent death. For the past twenty-five years there has been no man more constantly be- fore the public than General John A. Logan. Through all his career he has been noted for his fea1lessness and purity of character, both in public and private life. Loved by friends and respected by enemies he will be mourned by all.
 His death adds another to the long list of victims to sudden and acute rheumatism. Probably no disease is so common as rheu- matism, none is more sudden or dangerous, and there is certainly none which so com pletely baffies medical skill.
 Only one remedy has yet been discovered which is a sure and safe cure for rheuma- tism and its twin disease, neuralgia, and that is Athlophoros. In thousands of cases Ath- lophoros has proved quick and certain cure for these diseases. In connection with Ath- lophoros Pills it has never yet failed to speedily effect cure.
 In all probability many deaths attributed to heart disease are caused by these terrible diseases, which are far more dangerous than is generally considered.
 Rheumatism, even though in very mild form, is extremely dangerous, for it is liable at any moment to go to the heart and cause instant death. Why trife with disease so fatal when a certain cure can be obtained of any druggist
 Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can- not be bought of the druggist the Athlophor- os Co.,, 112 Wall st., New York, will send price which is s1 per bottle for Athlophoros and soc for Pills
 For liver and kidney diseases. dyspepsia, indiges- tion, weakness, nervous debility, diseases of wo- men, constipation, headache, impure blood, &c., Athlophoros Pills are unequalled.

A Large Attendance.

There was large attendance at the Calva- ry Baptist church yesterday morning, it be- ing the occasion of the sacrament of the Lords supper. There were two candidates for admission to the church. They were immersed by the pastor, Rev. MT. Samson.
 In the evening the pastor faced g good au- dience. He spoke on the power of our Saviour. He laid special stress on the word power. MT. Samson has an excellent de- scriptive power and last night used it to good advantage. He said some would say that the best part of the day was at noon- tide with the sun at it's highest, others that eventide as the sun was sinking below the horizon. But nobody can doubt that the early morn, with the sun creeping up from behind the hills, the birds singing and the atmosphere pure and fresh, is the best part of the day. He then compared this with when the life of man was best-at the early dawn, when so young and in- nocent, at the middle meridian, or when life was just ending. He most en- phatically said that youth was the best. Then he spoke on the power of God from youth up. When on the mountain top, bidding his disciples good bye, he said ''All power is given me, both in heaven and earth; go wise" The story of the man, stricken with leprosy, becoming well at the bidding of the Lord, was then told. Here his power was shown. The Lord is not with us in person, but he has the power of being with us in spirit. He once said: sLo am with you always, even unto the end of the earth" His power is great and unsurpassable.

The Agonies of Lum bago.
 EAST RIVER NATIONAL BANT

New York, March 10, 1sS6. It gives me great pleasure to add my testi- mony in favor of your very valuable Plasters. Last October I had very severe attack of lumbago and suffered untold agony; could not turn in bed or get in any position with out assistance, and with pains almost unbear- able; the folks suggested Allcock's Porous Plasters. As soon as' possible I had one applied to the small of my back, and to my great surprise I experienced almost instant relief; continued wearing it until entirely cured, and am happy to say that have not had the slightest symptoms of lumbago since. They are wonderful and valuable Plaster for lumbago, and take much pleas ure in recommending them.

Brinley has pleasing expression and appearance and is an excellent talker. His text was in the third chaper of Philippians, the 18th and 14th verses It was an excel lent sermon and it made fine impression on his hearers. The sermon had special refer ence to the new year. We should forget the mistakes and failures of our past lives; be- sides forgetting these things behind we should revert forward to those things which were before. He concluded with the injunc- tion "that if we would really look onward we must look upward, pressing forward for the prize of the high calling of God.
 In the evening he delivered a touching sermon on the duties of Christian.

THREE HUNDRED LIVES LOST By the Fire fin the Peoples Park al
 Madras.

MADRAS, Jan. D. Later Investigations show that the catastrophe in the Peoples park on Friday was more extensive than at first reported. The fire which burned the reserved enclosure lasted only fifteen min utes, yet in that time three hundred persons were killed, some being burned to death, others being suffocated by smoke or crushed in the efforts of the people to escape. Three hundred more were injured in various ways. The commander-in chief of the native contingent and the first prince of Travancore were among those who narrowly escaped. It is suspected that the fire was the work of an incendiary.

Wittrock said he and Haight planned the robbery. and the stories that Mrs. Haight did the planning were mere talk. Fotheringham, he said, did not know anything of the plans and suspected nothing wrong after he, Wittrock, had entered the car until he was thrown down and disarmed. Robert A. Pinkerton says the detectives have turned up the larger part of the money, about $50,000. There is still $7,000 or $6, 600 out. Mrs. Halght knew nothing of the robbery until after it was done and had not even been arrested Weaver weakened at the last moment. He was to ride on the front platform of the ex, press car and was to give warning of any approaching danger, but he backed out. Wiutrock, however, had to put $3,000 to in duee him to keep his mouth shut. All of that money has been recovered except few dollars which he spent
